Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1223  Entering The Blood Dungeon

Evan came down from the sky and searched the area where the bulky man had been, hoping to find something that would give him a clue about his real identity.

Unfortunately, the bulky man had left nothing behind after being erased from existence by the concept of Nothingness.

"If he had been the essence clone of a demon or an elf, I could have successfully turned him into a Shadow Undead, just like Elysia and could have gotten all the information I needed from him. Unfortunately, although the aura I sensed from him was a bit similar to a demon's, it was still slightly different, so I couldn't turn him into a Shadow Undead," Evan muttered with a look of regret on his face as he deactivated Void Territory and returned to Earth from the void space.

Essence clones are different from ordinary beings because, in a general sense, they don't have a complete soul.

The essence clone carries only a fragment of the soul from its creator. While this soul fragment can control the clone, it remains incomplete, making it impossible for Evan to create a Shadow Undead from it.

The reason Evan could turn Elysia into a Shadow Undead despite her being an essence clone was closely tied to his race, Eltharon.

Although Evan doesn't know much about it, he is sure that his race has a close connection to demons and elves, and for some reason, when it comes to these two species, his Shadow Resurrection skill can ignore nearly all restrictions.

Besides Elysia, Zorda is another example of how his Shadow Resurrection skill bypasses restrictions when dealing with demons and elves.

When Evan killed Zorda in the Tomb of the Ancients, Zorda was a peak Rank Two Core Evolver, while Evan himself was only at the peak of Rank One—a difference of three ranks between them.

Due to the restrictions of the Shadow Resurrection skill, he can't use Shadow Resurrection on anyone more than two levels higher than himself.

However, this restriction was entirely ignored when he used Shadow Resurrection on Zorda in the Tomb of the Ancient, and despite the rank difference, he was still able to turn him into a Shadow Undead.

Although even before turning Zorda into a Shadow Undead, Evan had suspected that his Shadow Resurrection skill could bypass restrictions with demons and elves, it wasn't until he resurrected Zorda in the Tomb of the Ancients that he fully realized its power.

If it hadn't been for their plan and the limited amount of Primordial Shadow Energy he had, when he travelled to the Magmara Kingdom with Anastasia, he would have asked her to kill Halphas so that he could turn him into a Shadow Undead.

Unfortunately, even if he had disregarded the plan to sow disorder between dragons and demons and killed Halphas, he had no confidence in his ability to turn him into a Shadow Undead due to his low reserves of Primordial Shadow Energy.

To create Shadow Undeads, he needed shadow energy, and he was certain that to create a Rank Six Shadow Undead, he would require at least two hundred thousand points or more.

After deactivating Void Territory, Evan once again used his spiritual senses to scan the entire area, hoping to find anything related to the bulky man, but still couldn't detect anything.

"Well, it seems that guy was cautious before he came here and didn't bring anything with him that could expose his real identity," Evan said under his breath and sighed.

"I could feel a kind of demonic aura from him when he attacked the Void Territory barrier, but his demonic aura was very different from the demonic aura I sensed from Baphomet and the other Demons of Utopia..." He frowned deeply, thinking about the strange demonic aura he had felt from the bulky man.

"Maybe he was a mixed breed or something like a half-demon, half-something else."

Evan rubbed his chin, his expression thoughtful, and he decided to ask Anastasia about it after he returned.

The creator of the essence clone was a Rank Six Core Evolver, and in Utopia, nearly all Rank Six Core Evolvers were well-known figures.

Even if he didn't get any information about the bulky man from the black figure, he could still ask Anastasia if she knew any Rank Six Core Evolvers who might be half-demon.

While thinking about the bulky man, Evan walked up to a completely destroyed apartment building and stopped in front of it, narrowing his eyes.

Since the portal to the Blood Dungeon had disappeared long ago, he couldn't see it with his naked eyes. However, with his Eyes of Abyss, he could clearly see the hidden dimension hovering in front of the destroyed apartment.

"I know you can see everything that is going on here..." Evan spoke in an indifferent tone. "Are you going to open the dimension by yourself, or do you want me to do it?"

After finishing his sentence, Evan stood there calmly, staring at the closed dimension without saying anything else.

But even after waiting for more than five minutes, he didn't receive a reply, and his patience started wearing thin.

"I am telling you one last time... Open this damn dimension already, because if I open it myself, you will regret it," Evan warned, and as he spoke, dark purple void energy began to swirl around him, and the space itself seemed to distort under its effect.

The hidden dimension before him began to tremble, the surrounding space making a crackling sound as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

Then, suddenly, Evan sensed something, and the void energy swirling around him disappeared.

"You should have done that sooner..." He said with a sneer on his face, and in the next moment—

Crack!

A sharp cracking sound echoed across the surroundings and the space where the Blood Dungeon was hidden collapsed, transforming into a portal.

Evan looked at the portal without any change in his expression and took a step forward, successfully entering the Blood Dungeon.
